“Great get-away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

My wife and I spent get-away weekend in the Arcola, Illinois, “gateway to the Amish Country.” The area is home to some 4,500 Amish and we went in the middle of October, at the height of harvesting and Fall colors. This was just the weekend we wanted. Slow paced. Relaxed. With lots to see and do. For the “base of operations,” we stayed at the Arcola Flower Patch B&B. Hosts Bill and Lynne were most gracious – and fascinating people in their own right. Bill is retired from teaching History in the Public Schools, and Lynne is an artist, primarily painting on porcelain. The rooms were very clean, and beautifully decorated. Perhaps the décor was a bit baroque for my taste, but my wife loved it. And after all … the weekend WAS for her! Plus, they have a great gazebo that overlooks a gorgeous garden, a great place for enjoying a bottle of wine under a full moon. Lynne and Bill also serve an elegant “7-course breakfast” the was excellent and a great start for two full days.

We highly recommend The Flower Patch for anyone wanting a quiet get-away.

Room Tip: All the rooms are nice. We chose the Garden Room, the former "servants quarters" above th...

Our stay in the Diamond House was a very enjoyable. It is a unique experience that we look forward to doing again. The hosts were great and the food was just fabulous.

“lovely and interesting B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This was our first B&B we had ever stayed in and it was different but not in a bad way. Our room was very cozy and clean but no tv and since everything closes very early (like 5pm) we got very bored. Breakfast was not my cup of tea (lots of veggies, and flowers and herbs from the garden) where was the bacon and eggs?? but it could be for someone else.All and all a good trip but i would choose to leave before breakfast unless they serve yogurt pancakes or chocolate waffles they were AMAZING!

“We loved it all...Our Garden Room, the Food, the view, the conversation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

We stayed in a beautiful room that had a huge arch window that overlooked the gardens in the back yard. All of the food was wonderful, each dish was decorated with flowers, herbs and greenery from the garden and served on delicate china. The white iron bed was perfect and comfortable. This was a perfect place for the weary travelers we were....nine hours on the road!

Room Tip: I believe we stayed in the best room which was the Garden Room. It was very clean, comfortable and...

“quite a find in central Illinois”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

people found this review helpful

The Flower Patch and Diamond House B&B's (side by side) are quite a surprise to find in this little berg. Very pretty, nice gardens - and the breakfast is very special with some unique - and delicious - dishes prepared by your host. Don't worry, you will get your Amish sausage along with lots of fruit and vegetables, nice baked goods, and home-made jams. If you have time, take a side trip out in the country around Arcola to see the Amish farms and visit the Amish general store.
